Using Vive in 3 Easy Steps
This user-friendly tool can be mastered in just three simple steps. Step one entails entering the client’s information. Step two involves getting the data. The last step is the best one of all — submitting and tracking your case.
Step No. 1 – Entering Client Information
Get started by entering your client’s key details — such as desired coverage amount, term length, health information and any optional riders. Need help determining how much coverage your client really needs? Vive includes a built-in life insurance calculator that helps estimate the appropriate coverage amount based on their financial goals and family’s needs. This step alone saves valuable time and ensures your clients receive personalized recommendations right from the start.

Step No. 2 – Reviewing Instant, Data-Driven Results
Once you’ve entered the client information, Vive instantly generates side-by-side comparisons from multiple carriers. But it doesn’t stop at just showing prices.
Each carrier and product is assigned an exclusive Vive score, which ranks options based on multiple factors, including:
- Financial strength — ensures your clients are working with highly rated, reputable carriers
- Conversion privileges — helps identify which policies offer flexibility for future life stage changes
- Product features – evaluates riders, benefits and customization options available to your client
- Accelerated underwriting and probability — instantly shows if your client qualifies for faster, no-exam approval
- Speed and process — rates how quickly each carrier can process and issue a policy
This multi-factor comparison gives you and your clients more than just a price point, it provides clarity, confidence and credibility behind every recommendation.
Step No. 3 – Submitting and Tracking
After reviewing the results, you can submit the application directly through Vive. There is no:
- Need to re-enter data
- Hardcopy paperwork to complete
- Clunky transition between systems
Vive allows you to track each case from quote to policy issue, providing complete transparency along the way. You’ll know exactly where your client’s application stands from beginning to finish.
If your clients qualify for accelerated underwriting, then the entire process — from quote to submitted application — can take less than five minutes!
